Just make sure the vice-grips arent on extremely tight because those sockets tend to bend if you put too much pressure on them.

I checked the site and it doesn't mention any brand of springs in particular. It doesn't seem as if tey are lowering springs. The kits that do come with lowered springs referense the kind of spring.

From what I've heard the Tokico springs will lower 1.4" all around with the Blues...I think Spikey has them installed with his Blues though.

I got what looks like 2' up front and 2.5 in back. Handles like a dream with my 17's. Took me about 2.5-3hrs.
The springs are made by Tokico, same as the struts.
